Grandhaven is a town like no other. The houses, white gingerbread cottages, the lawns, pristine. Nobody colors outside the lines here. In fact nobody colors at all.

In his groundbreaking expose, Howard Glidden tells you what can go awry when the US Government (and the corporation that sells Clorox) sets out to create the perfect town. Based on years of careful research (and reports he received from hundreds of FOIA requests for information), Pritchard tells the harrowing tale of the townspeople who, mysteriously, woke one day to a life in black and white.

The Cold War-era project involved infusing the area with an aerosol that bleached everything in the town.

Imagine eating lemon meringue pie that looks like Cool Whip. Learn how the citizens cope with wearing white after Labor Day – and every day.

It's all about me...

Why "The Ratio of Failures" (RoF)? The name is from a Margaret Atwood quote: "A ratio of failures is built into the process of writing. The wastebasket has evolved for a reason."
No wastebasket here, so you may find typos, grammatical blunders and other nonsense that missed the bit bucket (wherever it is that writing errors go now).
Come on, join in on the fun!
